In fact, the king''s hand guessed something wrong. First of all, he estimated the fighting power of the demons. Those demons who were able to leave the scope of Xigu city for food were originally quite powerful individuals. The number of them who followed erdo to the world was very small, and the ten killed by the coalition might have been the vast majority of them. The other demons who can only survive under the sulfur smoke summoned by the Lord of the abyss cannot be compared with them in terms of combat power.
Secondly, the fear of war horses. What they fear is not what is now in the valley city. What they fear is the demon lord who once sat in that city. Even if edu has been taken by cheese to the ice sheet north of Longji mountain, his smell can still affect the land for many years. It can be predicted that for a long time in the future, probably for hundreds of years, there will be no animals in this city willing to take the initiative to approach. Of course, this is not absolute. If someone knows how to clean up the dirt left by demons and is willing to spend time and materials for maintenance, the land around Xigu city can be restored to its previous state more quickly.
What Marcus didn''t expect was the rat man''s reaction to the arrival of the coalition forces. Although we know that there are intelligent individuals in the rat people, and even attribute the appearance of demons to their heads, the king''s hand still subconsciously does not put the other party in the position of its own equivalent. Perhaps in his opinion, the ability of intelligent rat man is to control a small number of brainless species. Like the wolf in a pack, he is still a wolf in nature and will not become a trainer.
If the curse crow is still among the rat people at this time, he will certainly suggest that the rat people take this opportunity to wait for the green lion''s allied forces to attack the valley and attack the demons before and after. With the help of those intricate underground corridors, the human forces can be severely damaged or even annihilated. But the magician has gone, and Gloria is not a grey robe. Even if forced to the door by her former compatriots, the only successor of the Earl of saloon is still reluctant to stand in the opposite direction of mankind. Because then, the rat people will never have a chance to find themselves again.
"They have suffered a lot. The morale of those who survive is low and their elite is seriously damaged. However, they don''t seem to have any plans to repair it. They should hope to try to attack Valley City before sunset This is the message from the rat man''s scouts. At this time, in addition to Gloria and several of her compatriots with certain abilities, Lyon and Elsa were also listening to the report. Outside the round thatched cottage where a few people met, there were a total number of native rodents who did not belong to the previous coalition forces. They were survivors forced here by the United Army''s carpet search from all parts of the kingdom. Gloria took them in, but ordered most of them to go into a hibernation like sleep to reduce the loss of food.
"How was the Royal Order damaged?" The blood lion inquired, and he knew very well that the Knights led by Atticus must have taken the lead in such a battle. So he was very worried about the death and injury of his colleagues. What''s more, Lyon couldn''t accept that he was sitting in the camp of the enemy in the name of the Kingdom when he was fighting with the devil. His glory calls for him to return to the army at once and pull out his weapons under the command of iron knights and become the sword and shield of his companions.
The rat man in charge of the report took a look at Gloria, and after getting the latter''s approval, he said again, "we have no way of knowing the original size of the order. But it is certain that the flag of your unit is still flying, Monsieur Lyon
The blood lion''s shoulders relaxed a little, and he realized that he had no right to ask for the information in theory. So he turned his head and apologized to the female leader of the rat man. "I''m in a hurry. I hope you don''t resent it, madam."
"Please don''t say that, Monsieur Lyon. Even if the kingdom is not friendly to us now, you are still the hero who saved the rat people from the clutches of demons and witches. I can understand your anxiety, and I hope you will remember that rat people always regard you as friends. " The smile on Gloria''s face is strange to others. After all, the expression of mouse man''s face is quite different from that of human. But people who know this lady know that she is not the kind of person who can play tricks. From this point of view, she still retains the style of Cang lion.
The knight then stood up and saluted respectfully, "your tolerance and integrity are as impressive as your father. I am quite sure that you will be a qualified Lord, so please allow me to make a bold suggestion. I hope to return to the order immediately and clarify to the nobles of the kingdom that the rat man is under your control and will no longer cause harm. But my personal persuasion is limited, so I dare to ask you to meet with the commander-in-chief of the United forces with me! "
As soon as this statement was made, the whole audience was in uproar. The mice swarming with Gloria almost instantly protected her in front of her, making a fighting posture. Lyon''s proposal, in their view, was tantamount to disarming the rat people, queuing up to the front of the coalition forces and slaughtering them. As a retinue, bakm immediately came to the knight''s side, and his hand was on the hilt. Even Rosa, who was a nobleman of the Kingdom, could not sit still and stood up to stop possible conflicts. As for the net worm sitting beside him, he showed a disdainful smile and seemed to think Lyon''s words were ridiculous.
"Wait a minute, I don''t think your excellency Lyon''s proposal is malicious. Is that right? " Saron''s daughter took hold of her eyes and looked at the rat man who was going to attack the blood lion. She looked at Lyon in a hurry, hoping that he would give a reasonable explanation. But in fact, she worried too much, even if the rat man or the Knight Commander wanted to attack each other, it was impossible. Because the house was built with the help of the witch, and kelanti saw the tension in the scene, and secretly moved the thorn vine attached to the wall.The blood lion sighed and waved to his retinue to leave the room. He didn''t want the situation to get more tense. After bakm reluctantly did so, Lyon took the lead to untie his sword and threw it to Lothar. This series of actions calmed the mice a little. They gathered their claws and teeth, but still surrounded Gloria.
"I have to admit, I''m not as honest as you think, Gloria." Lyon put his finger into his hair. At this time, he was more like an ordinary man who could not resist the reality than a knight with a high reputation. "I know that it is a very selfish decision to let you go with me. Even if I said I would protect your safety, you and I both know it''s not realistic. But I''m not a wizard. I never wear gray robes, I don''t let the thorns wave like arms, and I don''t even have luminous tattoos. I''m just a mortal like you. This is what I can see, the way to make the least people bleed. If you and I can convince them, no one will lose their lives because of this bloody war. Even if we can''t, your death will make the wise rat lose the will to resist, and the kingdom will die a lot less people It''s not fair, I know, but I also There is nothing to do. "
"I can have them kill you right away, Mr Lyon, because of what you just said." ''I don''t know if it''s a threat or something else,'' said Gloria.
The blood lion nodded and opened his arms to give up resistance. "Of course you can. I won''t complain. I''m a knight. It''s strange that I knew what I should guard and what to fight against. I should have known very well. But you see, you are men, the people of the lion. So are they. Alive, dead, all. My life should have stayed in that distant battlefield for a long time. Maybe if I don''t come back, I don''t need to face these choices
With that, Lyon closed his eyes and waited for the imaginary death. But when he opened his eyes, he saw Gloria coming out of the encirclement of her compatriots. Saron''s daughter bowed her head and said, "you are a noble knight. More noble than most of the people I know. After all these things, I really can''t believe who But I also look forward to an end, an end without more dead. Even if it is a false fairy tale, it is worth pursuing. I''m not a qualified leader. My father always says I''m too dreamy. He''s right
"So you..." The knight''s eyes widened, and he could not believe that the lady in front of him should have such a reaction.
"But of course I don''t like death either, so I think Mr. Carus might be able to protect my safety if he was hired." Gloria blinked and looked at the demon with her arms in the corner.
The killer raised his head and glanced at the people in the middle of the hall. The purpose of his coming here is to solve the damage caused by the rat man plague. As far as the current situation is concerned, if the two sides can reach a settlement, it is indeed the best result. And Carus knew exactly what kind of choice siegger and Andrea would make if they were here. He knew them too well.
"I refuse." But the devil said coldly, "because..."
"Because there''s a different, but just as disgusting, smell in those coalition forces. They are not trustworthy. " The man who followed Carus''s words was Jack, who had just opened the door and walked in, followed by the woman soldiers who should have died.
